Abstract (en)

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A base station may receive a first measurement report from a user equipment (UE) that includes an indication of a measurement parameter associated with a first beamformed reference signal. The base station may receive additional measurement reports from the UE for additional base stations. The additional measurement reports may include an indication of measurement parameters associated with additional beamformed reference signals transmitted by the additional base stations. The base station may identify a location of the UE based on the first measurement report and the additional measurement report. Alternatively, the UE may transmit multiple beamformed sounding reference signals to multiple base stations, and a single base station may identify a location of the UE based on multiple reports collected from the multiple base stations.
